I originally ported this so that I could debug a program using OS X’s command line tools. I would use the emulator to run the program and create a dump file full of verbose output, save that on the shared Unix partition, and then use diff, sed, grep and friends to search through the dump file.

Some people use it to run programs that are too old to run under Mac OS 9 (and thus, won’t run under Classic).

With Intel Macs no longer supporting Classic, and a lot of legacy programs, that need isn’t going to go away.

Users have encountered a few problems with 10.4, G5s, and Intel Macs. I have not been able to reproduce these, so if you are able to help (with detailed bug reports, Console.app output, preferences/ROM/boot disk files)

I would appreciate it.

I have been able to reproduce the Intel 68040 crash,disappearing mouse in fullscreen mode,and problems in 256 colour.I am slowly working on these.
